Chapter 40: Narcissus and Narcissus

He looked at Wang Shouyi and Xiaoliu again.

These two people didn't look at the painting at all, and for them, the painting was a mess, and it was not worth looking at at all.

Seeing the two of them looking at him, Wang Shouyi was inexplicable.

"Isn't it just a broken painting, and you two have palpitations on your face?"

He rummaged through the cabinets under the altar and searched for things, "I have painted better than this painting, and this stable woman is still offering." ”

Gu Bai and Xie Changan glanced at each other.

"Truly the ignorant are fearless. Xie Changan sighed.

"As long as you continue to go to class and sleep, sooner or later you can too. ”

Gu Bai patted Xie Changan on the shoulder and encouraged him, stepped forward, took down the painting on the wall, and rolled it up, so that Xie Changan would not continue to look at it.

The painting does have an eerie appeal.

It's like a freshly scabbed wound, even if you know it hurts, you can't help but want to open it.

I wondered. Xie Changan was very strange, "I'm a scholar in the academy, you just copy books, how do you seem to be more knowledgeable than me?"

Gu Bai smiled, "What's so wondering about this, I don't sleep when I copy books." ”

"Not this one. Xie Changan waved his hand.

He stepped forward and said, "Who was the gentleman who taught you how to learn Chinese back then?" I think he is quite knowledgeable. ”

There is still a big difference between literacy and being knowledgeable and knowledgeable.

For example, some allusions, some words, and some classics, if you don't have Mr. click, even if you know the words, you don't know what they mean.

Now I don't enter the academy, but most of the people who know how to read and write are like this.

Gu Bai is not.

When he chats, he not only quotes scriptures, but sometimes there are many new ideas in his opinions, which are refreshing.

Xie Changan felt that if Gu Bai entered the academy to study, it was estimated that he would not be his fellow student in distress.

Regarding Xie Changan's question, Gu Bai didn't answer for a long time, and looked ahead blankly.

"What's wrong with you, stupid?" Xie Changan patted him, "Haven't you taken off all the paintings, why are you also enchanted?"

Gu Bai shook his head and pointed to the tablet on the incense case, "Look at this." ”

Xie Changan walked over, poked his head over, and saw two words written on the god card: "Narcissus".

"Narcissus?" Xie Changan was surprised, "This is actually the tablet of the gods." ”

Such an evil arrangement, actually enshrined a narcissus, it is really the evil door to open the door to the evil door, and the evil door has arrived at the old Wang's house.

"Narcissus?" Wang Shouyi walked over, "how can I meet him anywhere." ”

"Why, have you heard of him, what kind of immortal is this?"

Xie Changan turned around and asked.

Wang Shouyi shook his head, "I don't know, it's just that Fahai's case is inextricably linked to this narcissus." ”

He colluded with Fahai and Narcissus, Narcissus may be a snake demon, and the two may be in love with each other, and told Xie Chang'an in one go.

By the way, he also told Li Fuyou that he was seduced by the water ghost of the Narcissus Hall and jumped into the water and was rescued by Gu Bai.

"The book "The Legend of the White Snake" was written by Fahai. Wang Shouyi was determined.

"You're imaginative. Xie Changan was amazed.

"What imagination, this is reasoning, logical is good or not. Wang Shouyi has a different opinion.

"Reasoning is a fart, can that bald man of Fahai write "The Legend of the White Snake"? I think it was written by Lao Gu that is more reliable than your speculation. ”

Xie Changan blurted out.

"Ahem. Gu Bai coughed and interrupted them.

He pointed to the wine jars that were lined up along the walls to the left and right of the incense table, and said, "Check these things." ”

If he didn't interrupt them again, it was estimated that Xie Changan would solve the case.

"Okay, I'll come. ”

Xiao Liuzi has been waiting beside him, and when he heard this, he beckoned a few catchers to move the jar out.

Xiao Liuzi first moved out of an altar, the jar was quite big, very heavy, wide mouth, there was the sound of water inside, and the outside was sealed with wine.

Xiao Liuzi put down the wine jar nearby, picked it with a knife, and opened the wine seal.

"Hey, it smells of wine, it's quite rushing, this has to be a burning knife, right?" Xiao Liuzi said, looking inside.

The wine in Jiangnan is soft, and there are generally few such domineering and leaky wines.

"Well, it's a burning knife. Wang Shouyi straightened his nose and smelled it.

He stepped onto the altar and was just about to get two bites to taste, when Xiao Liuzi screamed, took a step back, and sat on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Wang Shouyi instantly raised the knife in his hand.

"Child, child, child..."

Xiao Liuzi trembled, his face was pale with fright, and he couldn't speak.

"What else?" Wang Shouyi asked, and at the same time cautiously walked towards the wine jar.

"Child!" Xiao Liuzi stuttered for a long time, and finally spoke.

"Child?" Wang Shouyi wondered, how could there be a child in the wine jar.

He stepped forward, took down the candlestick from the incense table, and shone it on the altar of wine.

At a glance, Rao was reminded by Xiao Liuzi, Wang Shouyi's scalp was still numb, and his face changed greatly.

"Still, still, it's really a child. Wang Shouyi stiffened his head and turned around and said.

These Gu Bai and Xie Changan also felt bad.

In the flickering candlelight, they felt the darkness of the small dark room pressing towards them, ready to devour them.

"This, this, this place is too wicked. Xie Changan swallowed.

"Quick, move all the jars outside. Gu Bai greeted.

There is sunlight outside, which can at least dispel the evil and yin energy.

Under the leadership of Wang Shouyi, the catchers took the lead and moved the wine jars to the courtyard one after another.

Wang Shouyi led by example again, leading Xiao Liuzi to open the wine jar one after another.

Gu Baiqiang endured the discomfort and stepped forward to check.

Without exception, all the wine jars were full of children.

All of them were newborn children, and some of them still had umbilical cords on their bodies.

"Uncle, that Wen Po died like that, and it was too cheap for her. ”

Xie Changan couldn't bear to look at it after a glance.

Gu Bai also frowned, but he still asked Wang Shouyi to send someone to take out the child from the wine jar.

"Let them be buried in the ground. Gu Bai sighed.

Wang Shouyi, as a fast catcher, saw too many corpses, and thought that he was immune, but today there was terror in his heart.

However, as a catcher, he has to do it hard.

Besides, Gu Bai was right, he really had to let them settle down.

The catchers quickly found the shroud and spread it on the ground, and Wang Shouyi and Xiao Liuzi cooperated to put it on the cloth one by one.

The rest of the catchers are quite far away.

Gu Bai approached and carefully examined each small corpse.

Some of these corpses were deformed, and some were premature, and they knew at a glance that they would not survive.

But most of the children seem to be fine.

Gu Bai retracted his gaze and let out a long breath, "At least half of these corpses were not killed. ”

"When Wen Po is delivering a baby, if she encounters a stillborn, a malformed fetus, or a fetus that is obviously not alive, the head of the family can't bear it himself, and will hand them over to Wen Po to deal with. "Gu Bai has been copying books for a long time, and he has seen some records in just a few words.

But there is another category he didn't say: if a female fetus is born, some people don't want it, and they will also be handed over to Wen Po to dispose of.

"But most of the way they do it is to let them settle down. ”

Gu Bai looked at those wine jars, "So, what you said is right, it's too cheap to let Wen Po die like this." ”

Wang Shouyi is done.

He stood up, turned around and asked Gu Bai, "Will she deliberately kill the child during the delivery?"

Gu Bai was stunned.
